I made a nice dialog with appearing animation in my app. But there is a little problem: I need to slide it to screen behind from a simple header bar. The header bar contains a simple graphic and a textView with my app's name so this dialog must be slide in UNDER or BEHIND from it if you know what i mean..

Question:

Is there a masking option to not show the dialog in that part of the layout or something else to achieve such an effect?

Thanks all,

No you can't. Dialogs are modal so they are always on top and block focus.

You may be able to reposition the window itself, see positioning a dialog on screen but you won't be able to mask it as such.

As for animating dialogs, see http://stackoverflow.com/a/5591827/808940
